presentation
posted on 2021-11-15, 18:29 authored by Davis Fay, Alisa Frohbieter, Lesley Young, Ryan WilliamsThe National Aeronautic Space Administration, NASA, holds an annual student design competition in Huntsville, Alabama called the Great Moonbuggy Race. Students are required to design and build a vehicle that focus on a series of engineering problems similar to those faced by the original Moonbuggy team. The vehicles are raced by two students, one male and one female, around a course including simulated moon terrain. This senior design project includes the complete design of a two passenger, human powered moonbuggy to compete in the 2012 NASA Great Moonbuggy Race. The design includes a frame made of 4130 Chromoly steel tubing. To fit in the specified dimensions, the frame will fold in half at a hinge in the center. Steering will be accomplished by articulation about the center hinge. Riders will sit back-to-back and will power the moonbuggy through basic bicycle components.
